Recently, Amazon has made a facelift to the Kindle reader. Now it's time for more devices. Amazon's series of larger tablets has received a refreshed design, faster processors and larger memories. A new way to interact with the voice assistant has also been added. This can now be done from the screen without speaking. A special icon appears, followed by a set of the most popular commands.
